Hi Recently I wanted to post pictures and found this advice worked well: Here is the simplest way I have found to post photos with no registration or B.S. required: Go to http://imageshack.us/ Click "Browse" and when you find the photo you want to post, right click on it and choose "Select". Just ab...

I've learned something new!! Always worth checking the preview.

Wow!! That looks fantastic. I've only just 'adopted' a 1959 Major and hardly got rid of the cobwebs. Was about to try and send some photos - would certainly be a case of a 'before' and hoped for 'after' scenario.
Good job done Steve - much respect

Also have you cleaned the air filter out?

Yes, cleaned filter and renewed the oil bath.

Hello Matt1944N

That's good news that I may get a diaphram at Auto Electric in Glastonbury. I've just come through Glastonbury on my way home.
Thanks for the information.

Hi JC

I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks for the response

Morning Brian

Thanks for that information, I'll do a search on diaphram replacement to see what is involved. Probably also find out where I can get a new one should it need changing.

Thanks

Hi Kiwi Kev Still finding my way around the Forum. Have downloaded lots of useful information already. It really is a fantastic community of Fordson enthusiasts. Using the search facility gets quickly to most problems I've encounted so far. Being a complete novice in most tractor matters I'll be ask...

Good evening BarryT Thanks for the welcome message, much appreciated. I think my Major has done very little work for the last 20 years and when in better tune would probably benefit from a good workout. The friend who adjusted the governor not sure which way he turned it and I don't want to risk mak...

Good morning all you 'Blues' - morning here in Somerset UK. I'm a new member, at the ripe old age of 65 have got myself my first tractor, a 1959 Power Major with link box. Enjoyed reading all the posts and downloaded manuals from the website. Major starts first time, lots of black smoke at tickover ...
